A new international study indicates a reduced risk of dementia in younger generations, despite overall global increases in cases. This trend is particularly noticeable among women. Researchers analyzed data from over 62,000 individuals aged 70+ in the US, England, and Europe, finding those born more recently had a lower dementia risk. The study used combined cognitive tests and daily activity assessments. While the total number of dementia cases is rising due to an aging population, this study suggests a decreasing proportion of affected individuals in newer generations. Experts cite factors like education and healthcare improvements.
